BDD, or Behavior Driven Development, is an Agile software development technique that encourages collaboration among developers, quality assurance teams and non-technical business people throughout the planning, development and testing cycle of a software project.
The workshop begins with an introduction to BDD, what it is and how it is used by companies to promote good software design, development and testing. We do this from a non-engineering point-of-view, with an eye on the end-users, their requirements, language, and way of thinking. We also address the communication challenges that business stakeholders are likely to encounter as they work closer with their technical-minded peers.
By the end of this training, participants will know how to:
Write succinct user stories that capture the usage patterns of real users of the software
Translate their user stories into the behavioral language of BDD (Given, When, Then)
Derive test cases from these stories, for use by engineers to implement and test
Understand the relationship between product requirements, acceptance criteria, and test cases
Demystify the technical jargon that impedes communication and understanding
Install and use great tools for writing BDD feature files
Understand and appreciate what happens once the work is handed to engineers
Play a more active role in the iterative development cycle

JBehave is an open-source, Java-based BDD framework for writing tests in a natural language style. BDD, or Behavior Driven Development, is an agile software development technique that encourages collaboration among developers, QA and non-technical business people in a software project.
This training begins with a discussion of BDD and how the JBehave framework can be used to carry out BDD testing for web applications. Participants are given ample opportunity to interact with the instructor and peers while implementing the concepts and tactics learned in this hands-on, practice-based lab environment.
By the end of this training, participants will have a firm understanding of BDD and JBehave, as well as the necessary practice and toolset to write test cases for real-world software test scenarios.
Audience
Testers and Developers
Format of the course
Heavy emphasis on hands-on practice. Most of the concepts are learned through samples, exercises and hands-on development.

This course is designed for testers, from a traditional test background, who are seeking to find their place in an Agile development environment. There is no specific Tester role in Scrum - there is just the Team. The Team collectively is responsible for the quality of the delivery, including testing, and so the ‘traditional’ Tester role is redundant. However, this course demonstrates how a Team member specialising in testing can add a great deal of value in the Scrum development process.

Behat is a Behavior Driven Development (BDD) test framework written in PHP. It facilitates communication among developers, testers, business stakeholders and clients during the software development process.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to write and execute BDD style test cases using Behat and PHP.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
Run automated tests written in the human-readable, "Given, When, Then" Gherkin language
Use Behat based test cases to improve collaboration between technical and non-technical teams
Integrate Behat with Selenium, Mink, Goutte and other browser emulators to drive tests and generate reports
Extend Behat functionality through its extension system
Test numerous usage scenarios through terminal commands, REST APIs, and more.

Jenkins is an open-source continuous integration (CI) tool written in Java. Maven is a build automation tool for Java projects. Together they can be used to trigger continuous builds that include, for example: the execution of JUnit tests whenever a new code is committed, deployment of these builds to production, and scheduling of these tasks at strategic times of the day, for example midnight. These tools and processes make up a DevOps approach to the development and deployment of software and are popular in Agile development.
In this instructor-led, live training, participants will start with an introduction to DevOps, version control and automation scripting, then move on to hands-on practice, learning how to install, configure, and deploy Jenkins and Maven in a live lab environment.

Objective:
This training course aims at helping product managers, products owners, business analysts, system architects and developers understand how to efficiently Manage Requirements on the basis of the product vision till guiding developers accurately in implementing them.
More in detail, this course aims at assisting product managers in better defining the value propositions of their products on the basis of strategies and stakeholder needs. Business Analysts and product owners understand how to describe requirements of the product backlog then discover appropriate epics and user stories of the system while contributing to the required value creation. Along interactive case study exercises, participants learn how to describe in detail such requirements in order to validate correct understanding of needs and prepare system acceptance tests. Thus, only using a very common and productive UML profile, they learn to structure requirements in order to communicate efficiently with architects and developers through an iterative requirement gathering process.
Audience:
Product Managers
Product Owners
Business Analysts
Anyone interetsted in the Requirements Management Process
